Today
is World Alzheimer's Day. I always remember on this day one of my lady
patients, age around 65, who always loathed life back then. She was diagnosed
by progressive senile dementia by her psychiatrist and she was prescribed
nothing but tranquilizers and an anxiolytic drugs that made her drowsy. Slowly
but surely she developed Alzheimer’s disease that was hard to handle by her
family.

Well,
Alzheimer’s sadly is becoming a household name in this twenty first century
when more and more elders are falling prey to this cumbersome problem. There
are many reasons / causes behind this Alzheimer’s or we can say risk factors.
But instead of going into those details, today I would like to bring readers’
attention to some of the best possible preventive factors that can actually
take you miles away from this disease.

And let
me tell you that very basic lifestyle changes can help you get rid of this
problem in your twilight years, which I am sure you want to spend enjoying with
your family. Therefore, today, on this day, let’s take a vow to stand true to
the lifestyle changes mentioned below and age gracefully!

1)
Regular exercise- You will say I always keep on writing about the benefits of
exercise is preventing almost all diseases. But the fact is fact and I must
stress that. The peculiarity of regular exercise is that more than its benefit to
your body, it yields benefit to your mind and intellect. Antioxidants released
during exercise are extremely important for normal and optimal brain function. In one observational study, investigators looked at
the relationship of physical activity and mental function in about 6,000 women
age 65 and older, over an 8 year period. They found that the women who were
more physically active were less likely to experience a decline in their mental
function than inactive women.

This shows you how
important regular physical activity is! Also exercise is credited as being a
mood enhancer, so that the depression is kept at bay. Less depression during
adulthood, less likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s! 30 minutes of aerobic
exercise 5 times a week should be sufficient to keep you away from this
problem.

2) Active social life- Man is a social animal. More
he remains aloof, more troubled is his relation with self. Reach out to your
peer group of that age, join a club or community center, make weekly date with
friends, call your friends often and enjoy outing in public places. Your brain no
doubt will feel rejuvenated and exercised!

3) Protecting your head- People with head injury
are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s, study says. Therefore, wearing helmets
while on drive will not only protect your head but will also enhance your
chances of leading a healthy old age!

4) Stress management- More the stress, more burden
on your brain. Take a relaxed approach, let the things go and flow the way they
want and rejoice in the life you had been bestowed with! Concentrate on your
inner peace than the external attributes and you will surely fight the upcoming
Alzheimer’s and/or dementia!

5) Healthy diet- A diet rich in whole grains, fresh
veggies, fruits etc works marvelously well to keep your brain active and
ticking. Never be on empty stomach for more than 4 hours. Remember a golden
rule- What’s good for your heart is also good for your brain!

6) Healthy mental stimulus- Solving a puzzle if
tires you up, your brain surely needs that tiring! Keep your brain activated,
shun the usage of calculator at times, test your quiz ability or just teach Math
to your grandson or granddaughter. You will not only stay away from dulled
intellect or Alzheimer’s but even stress won’t dare affect you!

7) Sleep- Last but not the least sleep is a
priority as you grow old. Well not only for elders, but healthy sleeping habit
since adulthood or childhood helps brain get its sufficient resting period. Be
smart to nap whenever you get time. Develop a bedtime ritual that will relax
and soothe your senses.

I am sure those who will read this post will
inculcate the above mentioned tricks to trick your brain and maintain an ideal
brain health through the years! Herewith I am also giving how homeopathy can be
helpful in preventing Alzheimer’s.

Homeopathic prevention – (a footnote)

I have absolutely no doubt in stating that proper
homeopathic treatment for any physical / mental and/or emotional illnesses in
childhood and adulthood CAN PREVENT Alzheimer’s. There is also no doubt that for
the people with Alzheimer’s, homeopathy offers great relief and I have seen
number of cases witnessing improved cognitive faculties after the judicious
homeopathic treatment. But as far as the preventing aspects are concerned, I
can say assuredly that a person well treated by constitutional homeopathy
should never develop something as Alzheimer’s or dementia. It is like meeting
the simillimum and slowly but surely all your future problems are minimized
and/or prevented!

"Am I having a homeopathic
aggravation?" was one of the questions this young lady asked me on email.
She was being treated for some skin trouble by a homeopath residing in her
area. She was having marked aggravation of the eczematous lesions that she had
on the inner aspect of her thighs. After the treatment started, the lesions had
grown bigger, itching was enhanced and the redness around the lesions was very
troublesome. One of the striking associated symptom was she was having extreme
constipation that she never had earlier.

Well, as a homeopath one knows very well
about the homeopathic aggravations some of the prescriptions lead to. It s a
fact that more sensitive individuals experience bit more aggravation after the
medicine. But one must understand what a homeopathic aggravation is. It is not
an exaggerated aggravation of symptoms but just a mild to moderate aggravation,which gets better on its own very
soon.

Also one must know that this aggravation
is mostly centered around the main presenting symptom. If a person has allergic
rhinitis, after a dose of say Sabadilla, he will have a very temporary
aggravation of his sneezing and soon he will get rid of the sneezing
altogether. In this case, the aggravation can be called as the homeopathic
aggravation.

If the aggravation after administering a
remedy leads to some new symptoms, it is evident that the choice of the remedy
is wrong and/or the potency is not proper. Yes, as much as the choice of the
remedy matters, more so matters the potency of the medicine to be administered.
Especially in the cases of sensitive individuals, choice of potency goes a long
way in establishing normal parameters and also to boost the confidence and
compliance of the patient.

Therefore, if the aggravation lasts a long
time along with some new symptoms and signs, one must think whether the line of
treatment is at fault. herewith it would also be wise to state that not all
cases lead to even homeopathic aggravation. Rather I would say, people who
encounter such homeopathic aggravation are far less than people who directly
hit the path of recovery after the initiation of the regime. Therefore, it is
totally unwise to generalize thathomeopathic treatmentinitially always leads to aggravation,
which has bred a kind of fear among people to seek homeopathic treatment. With
proper history taking, proper case evaluation and searching for simillimum,
there are high chances that the road to recovery and cure begin as soon as the
first dose of remedy is taken!

So, when you seek treatment with any
homeopath, you must know whether you are facing a homeopathic aggravation or a
real aggravation that may warrant the change of regime altogether!
